Blender’s Notes Systemic Lupus – WIP:
This combination of herbs was built to help maintain the symptoms of Systemic Lupus and the inflammation that Lupus can cause on the body. What is Lupus? Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs (autoimmune disease). Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms often mimic those of other ailments. The most distinctive sign of lupus — a facial rash that resembles the wings of a butterfly unfolding across both cheeks — occurs in many but not all cases of lupus. No two cases of lupus are exactly alike. Signs and symptoms may come on suddenly or develop slowly, may be mild or severe, and may be temporary or permanent. Most people with lupus have mild disease characterized by episodes — called flares — when signs and symptoms get worse for a while, then improve or even disappear completely for a time. The signs and symptoms of lupus that you experience will depend on which body systems are affected by the disease. The most common signs and symptoms include ~ Fatigue ~ Fever ~ Joint pain, stiffness and swelling ~ Butterfly-shaped rash on the face that covers the cheeks and bridge of the nose or rashes elsewhere on the body ~ Skin lesions that appear or worsen with sun exposure ~ Fingers and toes that turn white or blue when exposed to cold or during stressful periods ~ Shortness of breath ~ Chest pain ~ Dry eyes ~ Headaches, confusion and memory loss. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many areas of your body, including your Kidneys. Lupus can cause serious kidney damage, and kidney failure is one of the leading causes of death among people with lupus. Brain and central nervous system. If your brain is affected by lupus, you may experience headaches, dizziness, behavior changes, vision problems, and even strokes or seizures. Many people with lupus experience memory problems and may have difficulty expressing their thoughts. Blood and blood vessels. Lupus may lead to blood problems, including a reduced number of healthy red blood cells (anemia) and an increased risk of bleeding or blood clotting. It can also cause inflammation of the blood vessels. Lungs. Having lupus increases your chances of developing an inflammation of the chest cavity lining, which can make breathing painful. Bleeding into lungs and pneumonia also are possible. Heart. Lupus can cause inflammation of your heart muscle, your arteries or heart membrane. The risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks increases as well. Lupus – Symptoms & causes – Mayo Clinic
This blend was based on Flax Seed because it works significantly on managing different symptoms of lupus. The oil present in the flax seeds is an important source of fatty acid. The omega-3 fatty acid helps in reducing the swelling caused by lupus in the joints. Next, we added Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 was also included because it has anti-inflammatory effects that benefit the muscles, joints, and heart in people with SLE. It also supports the immune system, reducing the risks linked to vitamin D deficiency. WE included Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is apoptogenic in nature – meaning that it enhances your body’s resilience to external and internal stressors and brings your system into a state of balance. Ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress which can restore the immune system’s homeostasis. Additionally, ashwagandha can help regulate the immune system, potentially reducing the overactive immune response seen in lupus. Ashwagandha’s primary benefit is in its ability to restore the immune system’s homeostasis. Black Cohosh was included because it has high anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and may offer some benefits for managing symptoms associated with lupus, such as joint pain and muscle aches. White Willow contains salicin, which the body converts into salicylic acid, providing anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Also, we added Feverfew for its anti-inflammatory abilities, which effectively reduces inflammation throughout the body. For those who suffer from chronic joint pain, arthritis, gout, and other inflammatory conditions, herbal treatment with feverfew is a painless and effective solution. And it can help reduce pain, anxiety, and stress.
Next, we added Turmeric. Turmeric has Curcumin as an active ingredient which can prove effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus. Turmeric helps to bring balance to the body’s individual systems by bringing down inflammation more quickly than any other herb. Another way that turmeric cultivates opportunity for the body to heal itself is through its detoxifying characteristics. It is an alternative herb — meaning it cleanses the blood of heavy metals and metabolic waste. It strengthens your liver and kidneys so that they can do their job of processing toxins and hormones. This allows your body to find its natural levels again. With the Turmeric we included Ginger and Black Pepper. Ginger can help reduce inflammation by affecting neutrophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the body’s immune response. By reducing the activity of these cells, ginger may help alleviate some of the inflammation associated with lupus. Black pepper contains piperine, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit individuals with lupus. Piperine can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are common issues in lupus. Additionally, black pepper can enhance the absorption of other nutrients and supplements, potentially boosting their effectiveness. Finally, we added Corydalis, Devils Claw, Rosemary, and Damiana because of the anti-inflammatory properties and managed symptoms of pain and inflammation to finish off the recipe!
